Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Just like Karaoke,just follow the bouncing ball.

Who invented the karaoke? I fell like kicking him.

There are some people who just can't sing.

So just leave them in the bathroom.

I live around there so long, never even once patronise them, so I won't know the loss.

You are near yet did not patronise the bakery, as for me whenever I was around that area I will go.

Remembered the cakes and ice creams from Orchard Road Mont D'or was so ever popular.

Was that a local or foreign bakery?

Sheesh! SG

My dad learned driving using a Morris Minor, the car with the turn indicator light at the center beam between the front and back window. It can stick out when activated.
I learned my driving using a Datsun 120Y, no power steering. It was like going to the gym, exercising the arms turning the steering wheel.

My dad like to change cars like underwears>LOL but his favorite was a red Ford Capri and had a white strip painted for me just to look like a Starsky and hutch car

Shhhhhheeeeeshhhh.....

tooth really hurting. Need to either put in a new filling.....or extract it out altogether.

And the irony is, I am living near the National Dental Centre now.

And I either need a referal letter from polyclinics to have major dental work done at the National Dental Centre....or go to private dentists.

And the polyclinics dont give referrals unless I am really in pain.

Which I am now. And the appointments is bound to be for a few days later. Which means sleeping in pain for the next week.

(&(&#&^$)

If you are having pain I don't think they will book you for such a late appointment. Anyway there are so many private practice dentists around, just find one that is available to solve your pain asap. It is better to see the dentist earlier so that the tooth will have a better chance to be savage.

sorry, I meant a better chance to be saved.

Took a cab to locate a polyclinic with dentist. They tell me must make appointments. Appointment dates is late March and April next year.

I like good cakes and ice cream.

And the Red House Bakery is over-rated. More for those who actually does not have any taste.

The butter cream cakes, than replaced by the fresh cream cakes namely the blackforest cakes was the sign of the 80s.

And strangely now late 90s to now 2000s, the butter cream cakes made a comeback in the form of smaller cut cakes.

I've yet to find really good cream horns, unless the basement bakery shop in Katong Shopping centre decides to make them. And their timing is irregular.

Just go to a private dentist, it will help to save your tooth.

Red House Bakery used to be at the junction of Bras Basah Road and Victoria Street. Their custard bread is cheap and good. Others' ok only lah. The old lady boss always played mahjong with my mum.

I know lah. Looking to extract liao lah. Saving it is going to be more troublesome.

Your time custard bread is good.

My time already, even the Ah Kun kaya Guyu roti toast was better then any of the pastries they have.

For still truly authentic old style baked breads....can still go to the shop at Whampoa , junction of Balestier Road at 5am in the morning for fresh bread.

But even they raised their prices and lessen their fillings. One late night motorcycle ride there to eat their fresh baked bread with char siew filling.........I only kinda only had a bread soaked in char siew sauce and 3 miserly tiny piece of minced meat.
